Friends....

...that you just need to cut ties with some of your friends. It gets really old when you have to put in endless unreturned calls or having to put up with promises of coming to visit when you know it will never happen. I have done this recently with 2 friends. I stopped calling, stopped emailing, stopped everything. I'm not surprised that they haven't tried to call me or contact me in any way. These 2 individuals are very selfish and are very self absorbed. I need to be surrounded with people who really want to call me and genuinely care about me. It just pisses me off that over all of these years with these 2 people at how much time I've wasted trying to contact them when they don't do the same in return.

The whole fallout started when I got engaged over 3 years ago. People, especially girls, get really weird when a friend gets engaged...I lost a few friends between the time I got engaged and then married over a year later. Whether they were jealous or whatever, it doesn't matter. If I were in their shoes, I would have supported my friend who was getting married and wanting to help with anything that I could out of friendship. I got married....I didn't die. I moved away, yet I'm still a phone call or short drive away. No effort has been made by either of these people to come down to visit my new apartment or to keep our friendship.

On the other hand, I am so thankful for all of those who have stuck by me throughout me and Dan's crazy courtship and even before then. The people whom I still stay in contact with have always supported me and cared for me genuinely for years. For this, I am eternally grateful.
Who knows what will happen with the 2 people that I've mentioned. Maybe one day in the future our paths will cross and things will be back to the way that they used to be. This whole situation could totally be me, and I'm fine with that!

So, I've again put in a call to one of the above people and was directed straight to voicemail. WTF? When I need to call her next, I should do a *67 to block out my number and see if she'll answer then. I know that she talks to other people, and it pisses me off that she can consider me a 'good' friend and not even pick up my phone call. Whatever!!! Ugh!

Take me as I am because I won't change for anyone...just ask my husband!
